10th Anniversary Contest-Click Here to Enter
2011 is the 10th anniversary for Monarchs House. Since opening our doors to golfers and non-golfers alike in 2001, we have hosted well over 200 groups and 1500 people. Our visitors have been families, couples, groups of eight men and groups of eight women. Remarkably, we haven’t advertised the house and all visitors have arrived as a result of the House’s reputation as the ideal setting for a St Andrews based holiday. 75% of the visitors are repeat guests.
Spirit of the Game?
At this weekend’s PGA BMW Championship tournament at Cog Hill, Butch Harmon, Tiger Wood’s old swing coach, revealed a few ways that Tiger tries to get the better of his opponent. What do you think of this? We want your opinion. Have a wee look:

Did Someone Mention Rain?
It does indeed rain in Scotland but in St Andrews not nearly as much as you might think. Since we are asked this question almost as many times as, “Can you get us on the Old Course?”, we thought we would share some intelligence with you that might be useful for you when planning your trip to St Andrews.
